Alternative Approaches for Workflow Similarity

Abstract: Abstract-Service discovery of state dependent services has to take workflow aspects into account. To increase the usability of a service discovery, the result list of services should be ordered with regard to the relevance of the services. Means of ordering a list of workflows is a similarity measure of the workflow and a query. In this paper different similarity measures facilitating structured workflows and higher level change operations are presented and evaluated based on a pilot of an empirical study. In … Show more

“…This type of workflow encoding, which is similar to the N-gram encoding of Wombacher and Li [21], preserves the essential structural information without carrying out lengthy graph theory methods aimed at the determining the distance matrix between workflows. The average execution time vector characterizing each available pair-of-tasks is used to define weights in this type of clustering.…”

“…A number of recent studies have addressed the problem of workflow classification [ 20 ]. Generation of workflow clusters can be categorized either into language-based approaches or into structure-based approaches [ 21 ]. In language-based approaches, string distance measures, such as the Hamming or Levenshtein distances, can be applied to assess dissimilarities between workflows [ 22 ].…”

“…They proposed a label-free similarity measure between process models based on transition adjacent relations (TARs) in the context of workflow nets (WF-nets). Wombacher [23] researched the problem of service discovery. Different similarity measures facilitating structured workflows and higher level change operations were presented and evaluated based on a pilot of an empirical study.…”

“…The first one takes into account parameters related with inputs/outputs and names of each task of BP [3,4]; the second one is focused on the semantic inference of related concepts contained in ontologies [5][6][7][8]; the third one, compares the BP structure usually represented trough modeling formalisms which ease the structural analysis using mathematical techniques, such as graph isomorphism [9][10][11][12]; and the last one, compares the behavior of BP represented as interchange of messages within tasks, record of historical execution of BP, and control-flow [13,14].…”
